Expert Solution
Step 1

Assets: Assets are the resources of an organization used in the business operations to generate revenue. They include both current and non-current assets. The assets which are converted into cash within a short term say one year or less are called current assets and those used for long-term i.e. more than one year are called long-term assets.
